    Childhood show, honestly really funny

    I remember first watching this back in 2014 not even knowing it was a spin-off of family guy, and I absolutely loved it. I don't understand why the show gets so much hate, it was actually pretty funny. Cleveland is an enjoyable character and he carry's the show really well. And his new family is pretty enjoyable too. Give it a watch if your a family guy fan like me!

    So harsh

    I don't understand why people don't like this series - it's essentially family guy from Cleveland's POV. It's so funny

    Weird

    Can't understand the hate reviews here. It's an offshoot of family guy with Cleveland as the lead and he carries it well. He's a hilarious character! Not sure why people don't like it, even after reading the reviews. I'm guessing people are turning this into a race thing, which is disappointing.

    Uninspired.

    Being that as of Sept 28th 2009 I have only seen the pilot and it doesn't seem to be a promising show. It's a little funny, it did make me laugh, but Cleveland just isn't funny. When you have a character like Peter (an idiot) everything just falls into place. TRYING to be funny just doesn't work.

    I don't see much coming from this show. It's like it was designed by the lowest bidder. They had to make a show because without a show there is no biz, but this is the best they could come up with. Lackluster is the best way to describe it, uninspired.

    They need to stop blowing a hole in Cleveland's bungalow. It was funny the first time.

    Give it a chance people.

    Well the only reason that people are hating on this show so much is the fact that they continue to compare it to the likes of Family guy and possibly American dad.

    This show isn't bad, it is entertaining and the humour is smart. As a fan of Seth Mcfarlane I knew I would enjoy the show anyway.

    Yes the family structure is the same as Family guy and American dad, and may lack some ambition, but needless to say, I don't laugh at much shows these days, buy this manages to squeeze quite a few giggles out of me.

    No, it's not better than family guy, but if people watched it with an open mind and stopped comparing it, I reckon it would be enjoyed a lot more than what it is.

    • Trivia
      Cleveland was chosen to star in a spin-off of Family Guy (1999) because Joe was considered to be too eccentric and Quagmire would never learn anything at the end of every week.

      Cleveland Brown: Unlike you, I don't see age, gender or race. I would expect a middleage black woman to understand that.
